American Locks are a lot of fun. I got a good deal on 10 of them on Ebay but the only caveat was the did not come with any keys. Here is the process I went through to get them all open in the least amount of time exerting the least effort. This are really nice looking locks, and I really did not want to pick any of them because I wanted to keep them in the new condition, scuff free.

Base Gaming thank you for the kind words! Either way, I hope to have more giveaways down the road too :)
Very interesting , decoding key pins , very helpful , thanks ,moe
What a score. I enjoyed you explaining each step towards your goal and what you were doing. Very entertaining and educational.
Barnett Bursley thanks for checking it out, I'm glad it helped :-)
Nice that they all were keyed alike!!
Enjoy your videos!
chris capune thank you for the kind words! I was pretty excited myself because as much as I enjoy picking American locks having a key is just so much easier.
great job. it's good that they didn't come master keyed, I've got quite a few Americans that are master keyed and it kind of kills the fun of picking them. I need get around to pulling the wafers out and either file down or have new keys cut for them, I just need to look up the bitting chart and get the calipers out and make them better locks. thanks for the video.
Russell Warren thanks for the kind words. It is always fun to improve your locks:)
That very interesting an enjoyable to watch. I'm happy for you that it worked out nicely with the cut key. Great picking also :-)
Potti314 thanks, I am glad I could save the time. I wanted to try to keep these as new and scuff free as possible so with the key I won't get any of those TOK marks.
American Locks are a lot of fun to pick but I am happy I got to take this little shortcut.
Thanks for checking it out :)
That is a LOT of ALs! Nice work Decoding :-)
Lock Noob it was actually funny when I went to the locksmith I walked in and it was a pretty green guy and I told him I needed an AM3 8-4-1-3-5 cut and it took them a couple minutes to figure out what I wanted
Great vid as usual. Nice American Locks snag. I have ten on the way for some pick fun and special cL project
Thanks for checking it out! American locks are fun
Awesome luck brother. Sometimes the lock god shines upon thee... Cool vid...
Thank you, I feel like I lucked out a lot on this one. Open is open, even if you use the key, lol
So true my friend... So true
enjoyed the video. nice pick. thanks for sharing
Marty Hastings thanks for checking it out :-)
orange...my favorite color :D
Jeff Moss I aim to please, lol
Great stuff
mickeyrs3 thank you for the kind words :-)
Hey, I just went through your entire lock picking basics series and I honestly learned so much. I've ordered my first set and purchasing a few cheap master locks. Is it wise to purchase a large pack that come in those 12 packs with the matching key for all of them? Or should I purchase a bunch separately for different key bitting?
I would rather them be keyed differently so you could get used to some different bitting. What would be really cheap is if you bought a Kwikset and a repining kit and changed the pins around yourself. Congrats on the success!
HelpfulLockPicker That's a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very interesting. When you measured the pins and stated the cut number how do you know the number. Is higher number longer pin?
Peter Platten there is a key bitting chart where each length corresponds to a keypin. The longer the keypin the larger the number.
You should figure out the code to your house lock so if you ever get locked out you can get a key made on the spot. You can also do the same by measuring the key depths.
Thank you.
Very nice video what is the make of your key pin micrometer? Where can it be purchased?
John L I can try to find a link for it if you would like but it was a generic one on EBay
Thank you that would be great !
This is the one I have: www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Digital-Thickness-Gauge-Meter-Metal-Tester-Micrometer-0-to-12-7mm-DT/262636333084?epid=1782875226&hash=item3d2658681c:g:ZiIAAOSwYlRZFFYN
Got it THANKS SO MUCH !!!
Great video again, what pick tool brand do you use? I just started and got the sparrows night school kit and a southord MPXS-32 and some crap one from china for $14.
I use mostly Peterson picks. My most used pick is the Peterson Hook 1 Reach (it is the hook 1 just longer) in 0.025" and the Peterson Gem in 0.018" which was used in this video. These two picks will get you far.
For top of the keyway I would get the flat bar set and heavy bar set from Sparrow, it is cheaper and you get the 0.040" and 0.050" thickness which are the most common used.
cool, I got both top of the key way wrench sets from Sparrows, I will check out the Peterson's pick, I found the Gem slim Euro, do have a part number for the Hook 1 Reach? Thank you
Just do not buy the one with the rubber handle, it is not worth the cost and takes away from feedback.
Their $3 "spring steel" picks are not bad either if you want to save a little bit. With them, you are going to pay like $8 for shipping so try to make it worth it, lol.
Yeah I was planing on getting the plastic handles, I was checking them out on lockpicks.com 1 dollar cheaper shipping. What is the difference between the GOVT steel and the regular on?
I'm a beginner and confused why you actually wanted these to be keyed alike. I search eBay for locks to buy so I can practice picking. If you have 10 locks all keyed alike, where is the fun in learning to pick them since you now effectively have 1 lock instead of 10.
I would have to watch the video again but I think they came that way? I just go with what is cheapest and rekey as needed
Do I hear a cat purring in the background?
It is always a possibility
